Junot Diaz’s Pulitzer Prize winning book, The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, will be adapted into a film and directed by Brazilian director of Central Station and The Motorcycle Diaries, Walter Salles.
I liked both Central Station and The Motorcycle Diaries, so hopefully the film adaptation of Oscar Wao will be as good as the actual book.

Junot Diaz’s The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao published by Riverhead Books, won the National Book Critics Circle award for fiction. I feel it’s well deserved. The book made me and lots of friends I know cry. When a book make you cry, it has to be good.

Ever since his breakthrough short story collection Drown came out almost 10 years ago everyone wondered what the Dominican writer Junot Diaz would do next. At long last we have an answer via The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao. Released earlier this year with much fanfare, Diaz has become the Latino darling of the literary world, again. The tale of a Dominican geek who gets no play is linked to larger Dominican history. The book is making the must read list of critics and pop culture mags alike.
